This is a song written by JJ Lin called Cries in a distance... i still remembered on the 2nd day that JJ released his sixology album, i was hospitalized bcos of the side effects of my clinical trial. It was a time that i spent in the hospital alone in pain and all, apart from God's word and worship songs, JJ's new album kept me company in the hospital. I was listening to this song again n again and it kinda spoke to me quite deeply. The song reminded me of the holocaust, for those of u who don't know what a holocaust is u can find the info here even though i myself don't know much about the holocaust, i did hear about it from different ones, esp in the show freedom writers.

anyway back to topic, so the lyrics reminded me of the holocaust, and one of the victim who faced holocaust was ann frank. she was a child that had to escape and hide inorder to survive. cries in a distance reminded me of her, it might be a sad song, but i think JJ was trying to deliver a message that is farther than just wars that are going around in this world and how children are affected and stuff...


here's his song, he doesn't have a mv for this song, but a friend of mine who is very talented edited this video... enjoy!

Cries In A Distance
music and lyrics：JJ Lin Jun Jie


Cries in a distance
Can't stop the tremble
I'm just awaiting my turn
Hiding will never
Save me forever
The guns gonna get me for sure

Dear God I pray why won't you be my friend
Come to me and take my hand
Like mama would say
Everything will be okay

All I hear is 3 2 1
The scream from the guns
And then 1 by 1
No one gets to run
Someone's dad or mom
Sister, brother and son
No... no...

All I feel is 1 2 3
My tears start to bleed
Smell of roses on my feet

I feel sore...
I fall...
I call...
I crawl...

I was doing my quiet time one night and i suddenly felt prompted to write some lyrics. And i ask the Lord, what should i write about? And i don't know y, God reminded me of this song that JJ wrote. So immediately i took out my handphone n jot down whatever lyrics that came to mind. And suprisingly, i wrote the lyrics in less then 5 mins... Here you go, hope it blesses you. :)

Trust in Me
music: JJ Lin lyrics: Dorothy

Though there's cries in a distance
You can't stop the tremble
You're not alone on this road
Hiding will never save you forever
But prayer will bring you hope

Dear child i say why won't you trust in me
Come to me and hold my hands
Like your mama will say everything will be okay

Cos my love for you is 321
That's more than enough
And than one by one
No one will get passed
Not your dad or mom, sister brother and friends
No... No...

On the day that I died 123
I rose from the dead
No more tears that will be shed

You're set free
You're happy
Trust in Me
I'm yours!

I actually passed a copy of this lyrics to JJ, hope he read it and will continue to write music like this to reach out to different ones. :) 加油！
